The treatment gap and the HIV care continuum for cisgender men who have sex with men in three South African cities
Background The HIV continuum of care for men who have sex with men (MSM) in South Africa remains inadequately characterised, hindering the tracking of progress towards ending the HIV epidemic. We estimated HIV prevalence and care continuum indicators for MSM in three South African cities. Methods and findings MSM were recruited via respondent-driven sampling (RDS) methods in Cape Town, Johannesburg, and Mahikeng. Eligibility criteria included age…
Historical visit attendance as predictor of treatment interruption in South African HIV patients
Retention of antiretroviral (ART) patients is a priority for achieving HIV epidemic control in South Africa. While machine-learning methods are being increasingly utilised to identify high risk populations for suboptimal HIV service utilisation, they are limited in terms of explaining relationships between predictors. To further understand these relationships, we implemented machine learning methods optimised for predictive power and traditional …
Understanding factors influencing utilization of HIV prevention and treatment services among patients and providers in a heterogeneous setting
Despite advances made in HIV prevention and treatment interventions in South Africa, barriers to their utilization continue to exist. Understanding perspectives from patients and providers of healthcare can shed light on the necessary strategies to enhance uptake of HIV services. A cross-sectional qualitative study was conducted in July 2020 in Ekurhuleni District. Based on HIV prevalence estimates from a national survey, male condom use coverage…
Social support needs of HIV-positive individuals reentering community settings from correctional facilities in Johannesburg, South Africa
Social networks and social support are important factors in medication adherence among people living with HIV (PLWH). Social networks can provide emotional, logistic, and material support leading to increased overall engagement in care. Certain populations of PLWH may have more limited access to social support, including those reentering community settings from correctional facilities. During periods of incarceration, social connections with fami…
Observational study of continuity of HIV care following release from correctional facilities in South Africa
The results of our study are the first description of retention in care following correctional facility release from an African setting and indicate high levels of attrition during the transition from correctional facility to community care. Initiating ART within a correctional facility did not impair post-release linkage to care
Is HIV Post-test Counselling Aligned with Universal Test and Treat Goals? A Qualitative Analysis of Counselling Session Content and Delivery in South Africa
Enhancing value and lowering costs of care
While interventions to improve HIV linkage and retention in care exist, none have demonstrated results sufficient to reach UNAIDS 90-90-90 goals. We explored values and costs of seeking clinical care through testing three strategies to improve linkage to care: Point of care CD4 testing alone (POC-CD4), POC-CD4 combined with transportation support and combined with care facilitation. We conducted in-depth interviews with participants and transcrib…
Perceptions of Value and Cost of HIV Care Engagement Following Diagnosis in South Africa
Tuberculosis active case finding
We identified undiagnosed pulmonary TB cases among drivers but at a level that may be insufficient to justify systematic case finding in this population considering the poor uptake
